We invite you to submit an abstract to the following session at the Cities on Volcanoes 10 conference to be held in Naples, Italy, 2 – 7 September 2018:
S2.15 | Perspectives on volcanic hazard and risk communication: Insights and advice from research and experience
Collective insight from research and experience has helped foster a better understanding of the challenges and complexities of communicating volcanic hazard and risk information around the world. The findings of controlled studies, and the tacit knowledge gained by those living and working in volcanic landscapes, provide distinct, but complementary, perspectives on communication of volcanic hazards and risks. Additional challenges arise when communicating hazard and risk during an emergency. The high stakes, heightened sensitivity, and political pressures of crises have brought about many lessons regarding institutional, mass media, and social media communication in different social and cultural environments.
This session welcomes a broad range of submissions that explore evidence-backed or experience-based approaches to volcanic hazard and risk communication, in times of quiet and emergency, as well as those that consider ways of integrating scientific evidence and experience into practice and policy. ‘Communication’ is interpreted broadly, and encompasses relevant work on messaging, risk perception, behaviour, hazard and risk in mass media and social media, crisis/emergency communication, and community knowledge exchange. In particular, the session welcomes presentations that consider methods, findings, case studies, lessons, and reflections that can actively inform communication in practice.
Please note the abstract deadline is 10 May 2018. For more information, please visit: www.citiesonvolcanoes10.com
We look forward to seeing you in Naples!
